This document discusses the morphology and functions of roots in angiosperms. It describes the primary functions of roots as anchorage, absorption, and secondary functions like storage, respiration, parasitism, and vegetative reproduction. The regions of roots and their functions are outlined, including the growth, elongation, and maturation zones. Modifications of roots are also summarized, including breathing roots called pneumatophores which have pores called lenticels for respiration, stilt roots which provide additional support, and prop roots of banyan trees which grow down from branches for support.
